Hi Phil.
You might also want to check out Hamlib at http://sf.net/projects/hamlib
Last summer a substantial amoutn of re-work went to locator.c in the src
directory which implements just the functions you're looking for.
Hamlib is written in C and it's a reasonably simple matter to install
the library and use those functions in your program. I won't guarantee
the code to return extremely accurate results, but they seem reasonable.
Right now the only way to get the latest changes is through CVS although
a stable release is expected in the next few weeks.
HTH,
